Lesson Plan Title: Nicki Minaj —Black Woman Standing
Audience: Common sense participants—community members, church leaders, legal aid volunteers, and restoration-minded citizens Duration: 45–60 minutes Theme: Using public messaging to restore legacy, confront injustice, and inspire action
Learning Objective
Objective: Participants will be able to craft a short, persuasive public message that integrates historical truth, moral conviction, and a call to action.
Example: By the end of the session, each participant will write a 3–5 sentence public statement addressing a current issue (e.g., religious violence, political hypocrisy, cultural erasure) using restorationist language and a clear moral stance.
Learning Outcomes
- Outcome 1: Identify Restorationist Messaging Techniques
- Participants will analyze examples of public statements (e.g., Nicki Minaj’s UN speech, Trump-aligned rapper commentary) to identify techniques such as legacy invocation, moral clarity, and refusal of victimhood.
- Example: Highlight phrases like “faith is under attack” or “Trump will do what he says” and explain how they signal conviction and agency.
- Outcome 2: Distinguish Between Symbolism and Substance
- Participants will critique symbolic gestures (e.g., performative allyship) versus substantive action (e.g., policy, partnership, or public risk-taking).
- Example: Compare a celebrity tweet with Nicki Minaj’s UN appearance and discuss which one models real leadership.
- Outcome 3: Compose a Restorationist Statement
- Participants will write a short public message that includes a historical reference, a moral claim, and a call to action.
- Example: “Our ancestors didn’t survive slavery for us to stay silent while churches burn. We rise with truth, not trends. Protect faith. Defend legacy.”
